Youth Ministries
Youth of All Saints’
Grade 6 through Grade 12
At All Saints’, we believe church should be a place where youth truly belong — not just be a place they attend. Belonging means making sure every student is seen, known, and loved. Whether you’re seeking laughter, meaningful friendships, real conversations, or just a space to be yourself, you’ll find it here. You belong here.
Come for the high-energy games, gather for the family style meals, deep conversations, and the kind of community that sticks with you long after Sunday night. Youth ministry at All Saints’ is a space where faith comes alive, questions are welcome, and everyone is invited into God’s story.
We draw students from more than twenty different schools in the Atlanta region. All youth are welcome, are included, and belong. Be sure to register for Youth Ministries for the 2026-2027 school year to receive regular youth updates and announcements.
SUNDAY MORNING Youth formation
“Sunday School”
10:20 a.m. in the Attic, 3rd Floor of the Pritchett Center
Young people in grades 6 through 12 gather weekly in The Attic for donuts and coffee followed by group games, prayer, music, and a brief presentation before diving into small groups by grade level for deeper discussion around relevant topics relating to faith and life as followers of Jesus.
Sunday Night Live (SNL)
Our youth groups are held 6:00-7:30 p.m. on Sunday Nights in the Attic (3rd floor of the Pritchett Center).
Grades 6 – 12
A classic “youth group” experience for all young people as we gather on Sunday evenings for a combination of community building, worship, service, and fun. Dinner is always included.
Outings
Location: Off-Campus
Join us for thrilling outings, with an event planned once a month. Possible destinations are Sky Zone, Six Flags, Braves Games, bowling and other fun spots. Middle and high schoolers will have events tailored to their grade levels, with occasional combined age events for larger group activities.
Rite 13
Rite 13 is a program crafted specifically for our 7th graders to deepen their understanding of themselves, their relationship with God, and their place in the world. This year-long program draws upon the Journey to Adulthood (J2A) curriculum. Rite 13 culminates in a meaningful rite of passage, featuring a ceremony that involves both the teens and their parents.
CONFIRMATION
Open to all 8th graders, confirmation provides a year-long course for participants to explore the Christian faith. At the end of the course, youth may choose to make a public profession of faith and be baptized if not already, or affirm the vows made by their parents at their baptism as a child or infant. Participation in the class does not commit one to being confirmed at the end.
Pilgrimage/Mission Trips
Each summer, All Saints’ high school students have a unique opportunity to participate in ministry experiences outside of Atlanta. We offer two types of excursions: the Pilgrimage and the Mission Trip.
The Mission Trip is open to all high school students (grades 9-12) and typically takes place within the U.S., with past locations including Asheville, North Carolina. The Pilgrimage, available to students in grades 10-12, is a ten-day journey designed to minimize technology and comforts, allowing participants to focus deeply on their spiritual growth with their peers. Previous pilgrimage destinations have included Cape Town, Ireland, Alaska, Spain, Croatia, Greece, Scotland, and Rio de Janeiro.
These two programs alternate each year, providing diverse and enriching experiences.

All Saints’ is incredibly fortunate to enjoy a 10,000 sq. ft. youth ministry center called “The Attic,” located on the 3rd floor of the Pritchett Children’s Center on the campus of the church.

More about Junior Choir
Our Junior Choir sings hymns and descants, as well as a variety of global and multi-cultural music. We learn challenging treble music and how to sing in harmony and in foreign languages. We also learn how to sing with our “best voice.” An important part of our time together is spent connecting our songs and hymns to the themes of the church year.
We sing during Sunday morning worship, a Christmas Eve service (with the Primary Choir), the Saint Nicholas Celebration, the Ash Wednesday Service for All Ages, and on Palm Sunday. The Junior Choir also presents the Annual Children’s Musical, which is typically held in February.

Our Junior Handbell Choir learns basic handbell techniques, note and rhythm reading, teamwork, and a broadened sense of musicianship.

More about Youth Choir
Our Youth Choir sings challenging, meaningful music in many styles and genres across time and eras. We sing in unison, as well as two, three, and four-part harmony. Once a year we travel out of town to perform at another church, spending the weekend building community, singing, and having fun. Members of our choir come from all parts of the Atlanta area, representing over 20 schools.
We often combine with other All Saints’ choirs to perform. In past years, we have presented Schubert’s Mass in G Major and Mozart’s Missa Brevis in F Major with the Adult Choir as well as challenging spirituals, modern Gospel anthems, and traditional classical anthems. Youth Choir alumni are invited to sing with us every Christmas Eve at the 5:00 p.m. service.
Youth Handbells

Sundays 4:15 — 5:00 p.m.
Our Youth Handbell Choir plays a variety of music, from rhythmically challenging and contemplative hymn arrangements, to new arrangements of classic rock and pop tunes. We ring 3 and 4-octave handbell music. Commitment and regular attendance are a must for those wishing to ring, and ringers must also be members of the Youth Choir.
Staff
SAFEGUARDING GOD’S CHILDREN
Here at All Saints’ and across the Episcopal Church, we are committed to fostering a culture of safety, transparency, and awareness as we strive to stop and prevent the sexual abuse and exploitation of children and adults.
All staff and other adults who work with children and youth are required to complete an abuse prevention training program designed for the Episcopal Church called “Safeguarding God’s Children,” which is offered in person at least four times annually, as well as online. In 2020 the program was revised and updated to include new information, including important content regarding LGBTQ+ individuals and best practices regarding electronic communications.
Certification must be renewed at least once every three years.
For more information, contact Kathy Roberts.
